Having another child...
*Long post so bear with me* What’s it like to have your husband, spouse, significant other, etc. to want to have other children? Little backstory before my husband and I ever got married we had discussed having children. We’ve been together 6 years and we both agreed that we would like to have 2 children max.
Fast forward to me becoming pregnant with our son. At first before we found out I was pregnant we argued a lot because I wanted to have a baby right then and there and he wasn’t ready. He was scared of not having enough money, enough room, etc. We’ve always had stable jobs and have had our own place for awhile to begin with. Then low and behold I ended up pregnant. Now, our son is 2 1/2 we’ve been married a year and we just bought our own house a few months ago.
I’ve brought it up multiple times about how I would like to have a second baby. I said how I at least wanted to wait until our son is at least 4 and/or potty trained first before we have another. But now my husband doesn’t want anymore kids. He waited until we were in contract with our house to tell me that if we bought it that we couldn’t have anymore kids. He said our house isn’t big enough and that he’s afraid he won’t be able to give our first child everything he wants because then he’ll have to share with a sibling. And that he doesn’t want someone else raising our kids because we both work full time and my parents babysit him while we’re at work.
I have begged and pleaded and cried to him so much about changing his mind. We have a 3 bedroom house that is ours so if we wanted to expand our remodel we could! It’s not completely impossible. I don’t know what else to do and I’m scared it’s going to cause resentment and separate us in the end. I just need advice or tips on what I can do....
